If. LaiiffeMer, ol If. Langf-kl? r ?fc Son,
vho* laundry, a! No 812 K?st 9Jd
street, is Involved In the strike, named
a number Of laundries ?affected by the
urike up to a lat?-- hour yesterday after?
noon. He alao said several laundries
which catered to th?.: trade of the bot. Il
and restaurants were Involved, which
?would t'f s hardship for the waltera He
believed practically all the laundries
would be involved.
"Owing to ?the praaent state of the
trade." he explained, "a pi eat many of
the employers strongb lavor a general
shutdown rather than submit to the de
?Bands. You cannot raise the prices of
laundry *ork to your customers, as you
would raise the price of a suit of clothes
if It coat more than formerly to produce.
They would not pay th?* necessary in
rrease if we granted th?-- demanda, and
to grant the demands would mean that
wc would stand the loss. W. have only
e small margin of profit, any way, and
i is would be sacrificing it all. My own
opinion would he in favor of a ?shut?
doe/n."
At the Brunswick laundry a large
Etrkc was predicted, to which other
frms agreed. Just as lars?- a number ?f
the employers made light of the strike,
AmoriK theae was Frank Fallotl? o. pro
prieti'i- of the Liberty Steam Laundry,
Me? 3.V, ?East 105th street. He said.
"The general demands were made or?
me. but the men did not quit to-day and
gave me until tomorrow, ) do not k"?k
for much trouble and do not believe the
Btrike will be a large one. Borne of the
shops wert open to-day and doing busi?
ness, and some would have dosed any?
way."
Says Whole Trsde Will Be Tied Up.
Th> headquarters of the strik?-iu are
at Dot-lge's Hall, VJ.'.th street and St.
Nicholas avenue, and th^ stiik? leader
is William Armour, president of Local
196, which declared the strike, lb l -
Heve.fl the other unions would strike in
sympathy.
"All the trade will be tied up," he said.
'Each steam laundry controls from fifty
to one hundred and fifty band laundries.
a change la needed badly in many r,t'
the laundries. iltdependent of the ques>
??on of wages and he?ur.s of labor. Se-v
